Pre-payment Options!

Please take advantage of the options to prepay your student’s meal accounts.

Prepaid meal accounts help the lunch lines go faster and gives more time to eat, relax, and play. It also gives you the peace of mind of not having to worry about looking for lunch money every day or worry that it might get lost, stolen or used for other things than lunch. Send Check or Cash with your student, OR stop in and drop it off with your school's cafeteria cashier(s) or office. Please place it in an envelope with the following information: student name, lunch ID #, teacher's name, $$ amount and the check #.

  • Higher Test Scores - research has proven that children who eat breakfast have higher math and reading scores.
  • Improved Attendance - studies show that students who eat breakfast are absent and tardy less often.
  • Fewer Trips to the School Nurse - when students eat breakfast, nurses report fewer hunger-related office visits.
  • Improved Classroom Behavior - students are better able to pay attention in class when they have eaten. Principals confirm that they see fewer discipline problems when students have eaten breakfast.
  • Better Learning - students learn best when they have eaten a good breakfast.
